The Fellow Who Steals Hats,
Srracnse Standard.

The lining thief is, believe, positively
the latest exploiter in the realm of crime.
This is the man who trades hats with you
in the barber's shop, in the sleeping car
and outside the hotel dining room. The
mere act of exchange is a trick old enough
in itself, but with the oldest adroitness of
the lining thief it becomes very tsntaliz.
ing sort of meanness. The lining thief
carries about him one or more Innings
which he has pulled out of old and rusty
hats, and by q clever jugsle slips them, as
occasion offers, into the property Of 9TH
ers, who have nc means OF identity so
sure as to look at the inside. In this way,
though you may seem to think you know
your hat by it's general appearance or col
or, you are nonplused by the changed
character of the lining. l hear OF the re-
cent detection of this sort of thieving on
q sleeping car by a passenger who saw
the legerdemain connected with it through
clumsy performance.

THE DAf OF RECKONING,
The Father of Hugh NJ. Brooks Will Try
to Save His Boy.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 2S.-Samuel n.
Brooks of Hyde, England, father of
Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, arrived
in this city last night. He comes to be
with his boy in the days of dire extremity
to try to save him from felon's death.
Mr.. Brooks is hale looking gentleman.
His feelings are at high strain. though
he labors to suppress them. When
visited by reporter he collected himself
for conversation, but heSitated as though
keeping back his tears.
Il could not get here earlier on account
Of the trains" ne said. 81 have not
seen my boy yet"
In answer to question as to what was
thought of the case in England Mr. Brooks
ssid: cover in England we can't
understand anything that is not
fair. The boy, my boy, is no more guilty
OF murder than You are. [ will never de-
sert him. will spend my last copper to
save him. l will see everybody in the
United States until 1 see the master, If
there be master here, to save him. Should
they hang him | will not desert him. 1t
would DE murder to hang him. A detect
i've thrown into jail; that was Infamous,
flendish, disbolicsl. The wonder is that
the fiabby-faced wretch was allowed
TO go on the stand and open his mouth.
An English Judge would have sent him
to prison aud tried him and others too
for conspiracy. The boy never told that
man what he claimed. My boy never
committed murder. What was done to
Prellar was done at mis- own request. Oh,
they treated my boy shamefully. When
l read of the trial, said, why, that is
not fair trial. The lawyers are hsndi-
capped il every way. They said he de-
ceived his father. He never deceived
me. He loved me as loved him, as q
Christian loves his God. They claim
he forged my name. That is
an infau Gus lie. They said he ran away
from home without bidding US good bye
1t was false. He came to my room anG
babe me good bye. They say he lied
Why, everybody tells stories to make peo'
pie laugh. l do not call that lying. Tina
is what we call tall talking. When any
one leaves England and he comes tc
America there is nothing criminal il
that"
1t was evident that Mr.. Brooks though
his boy might as we'll have been tried by
Judge Lynch. He believes firmly in hi:
sons innocence and is very convincing IL
his views Of the matter.

SKELETON MERCHANT.
Tho Trade In Skulls and Bones Pursued IN
Chicago.

Chicago.
Chicago News.
"Thc skeletons which are kept for sale
come principally from Paris or the great
cities of Germany. Time over here is
to precious to waste on Skeletons" said
8 prominent dealer in them. "ShouId
we try to get any here we should find
them very inferior. No doubt American
bones are quite as good as any other
bones. But they are not so well pre-
pared Tor the market. It lsa long and
tedious process to bleach the bones per
fectly and get all the Oil out OF them so
they will remain perfectly white. 1t is
doubtful if we could get this we'll done
here. There is g great difference
in the value of skeletons. The differ
ence lies in the comparative solidity Of
the bones. Some are porous and spongy,
and these seldom have much care ex-
pended on them and bring low price.
Others are firm and in every way perfect,
and such are bleached after the best
methods, finely artiCulated or put to-
gether and sold at the best prices the
market will bring. Even the uninitated
eye can discover the greatest difference
in these skeletons. Some are white and
even after manner shapely, and are put
together with wires Of copper Or brass
with care and finish. Others are un-
slightly and discolored, and losing the
beauty which attaches to any wel!-eXe-
cuted implements or pieceof machinery,
take ito themselves the simple hideousness
OF the grave"
The skeletons of children or infants are
not often wanted and are rarely i'm
ported. Certain portions of the body
are required TO show different stages of
development, and the heads of children
are frequently required by medical col
| leges to show the development OF the
teeth. Some skulls have the first and
second set quite complete, one row above
the other. Skulls for the study of the
| brain are arranged in various manners, tc
show the various layers of bone anC
porous matter which shield it. A skull
will bring as big price as whole skele-
| ton, under carteiu circumstances. Indeed
one skull which the genial gentleman eX
hibited sold for 500. This was as white
as snow, and mounted On brass sp-
paratus which held each portion of the
head in it's right position, but at dis
lance Of an inch fcOm its fellow The
brass instrument is very cleverly made
with screws, etc, to move the bone!
closer together if necessary. This is de.
signed especially for the lecture OF
anatomy, as is also the colored skull
which has different portions painted il
red, green, black and blue. These srt
sold principally TO medical colleges an
societies. Then, of course, each hospita
must have number of such things, and
indeed, almost every doctor wants hi
own little skeleton-to keep MIN com
pany, as the ladies say "who have see
better days" and got reduced TO takin
| bOarders.

BIRDING A DUSKY KING,
The Ruler of the Sandwich Islands Gets

The Ruler of the Sandwich Islands Gets
Snug sum of Money and g. Baked Zig.
Early during the session Of the last
Legislature a bill was Introduced 10
license the sale of opium, says the
Hawaiian Gazette. 1t was proposed to
have TWO licenses at $40, 900 per annum
each, and if there were more than two
applications the licenses were to be put
up at auction. The bill was referred to
select committee, and near the close Of
the session the committee reported
back new bill radically different from
the former one, proposing but one license
/ ct $50, 900 per annum, to be given
to whom the Minister of the Interior
chose. In spite Of the most strenuous
opposition the bill was forced through by
what was known as "the Kings crowd"
! by majority of one, and became q Law
! by the Kings signature. Thus ends
chapter one of this history. Chapter two
is worthy sequel to its predecessor.
! Early in November, 1856, one Junius
Kase, heretofore conspicuous for nothing
except b., g "palaCe hanger on" (since
promoted to the office of Registrar Of
Deeds went to Chinese rice planter
named Aki and asked him # he cid not
want the opium license. Ak said he did.
Ksae then informed him that be could help
| him to get it, and that the first step neces-
ssry was to pay the King the sum Of
! $50, 00O but that ne must hurry up ABOUT
it, because there were others trying to
J get the King TO give it to them. After
some discussion Aki agreed to act upon
Kaae's suggestion. About the Gth OF
December, in the afternoon, $4,000 was
taken to the palace il basket. The
King, seeing others around, told the
bearers to come In the evening. They
came in the evening and met the King,
who directed them to see kaae. kaae
being present, conferred with the King
then went to the Kings private office and
he there received the $50, 900 ana put it
in the Kings private table drawer. 4 few
days after the King stated TO the owner
that he received the $50 coo. Shortly
after a check on the bank for ) 0, coo was
handed to the King personally. The same
day Kaae returned Il, saying they pre-
ferred coin TO checks. The same evening
the coin to that amount was delivered &c
Kaae. a day or two later $50, in colo
coin and certificates Of deposits, in two
baskets, were taken to the palsce and de-
liyered, together with present OF S little
baked pig to the King personally. Thi:
completed the 100000. Finding out how
easily 100000 was made, probably there
were some qualms of conscience ebou
| letting the license 90 so cheap
r All was therefore informed By
, Kaae that John S. Walker was backing
another Chinaman, and that unless SIS,
O0U more was forthcoming Walkers Chi
naman would get the license. Ak re
t luctantIy raised the amount and it wa
J paid to the King personally. Shortl,
after ne was Mortified by hearing tina
, Chun Lung had received the license.
Since then repeated efforts have beer
, made to have the money returned. /
has been promised by the King, but ate
, various subteriuges he has refused t.
have anything further to do with Akl ant
! the money has not been returned.
